Here is a summary of the news stories:
John Healey, the new Chancellor, is preparing to give an upbeat view of the UK economy in a speech on Monday, just before next month's Budget. In his speech, he will announce a £150m fund for companies in the north of England, which will provide investments of between £5m and £15m to innovative firms. This is part of a wider plan to generate more economic growth around the UK through an "active state" that works with private businesses. However, Healey's plans come amid concerns about government borrowing costs and inflationary impacts of the Iran war.
This news matters because it sets out the Chancellor's vision for the economy and his plans to stimulate growth in certain regions of England. The £150m fund is a key part of this plan, aiming to attract private investment and support innovation across the UK.
